We speak a language unknown to everybody else
And fluently you have shown me how to talk to myself
And I don’t know where I’d be without your voice in my ear
So please keep talking to me and just stay near me tonight
I think you live in my songs you wake up at the first note
And then you start in my lungs and you travel up my throat
By the time you reach my tongue you are still warm and wet and held
And then you pass through my lips, the world hears parts of what I felt, for you.
Sometimes I hum instead of sing, let my guitar fill the space
The words just come out all wrong when they can’t see your face
I sometimes cry instead of hum and beg the world for you
But at the end of each song that’s one more night that I got through, alone
Now our topics have all changed and we are learning all new words
Letting go of pronouns and focusing on verbs
The things you do are what count so let’s do and so them well
And when I sing to you now your name is all that I can spell, out loud.
Cause we speak a language unknown to everybody else
And fluently you have shown me how to talk to myself
And I don’t know where I’d be without your voice in my ear
So please keep talking to me and just stay near me tonight
